My Robes are Lilac (or An Ode to My Robes)

to the tune of "Green Grow the Lilacs", an old American folksong based on the 17th century Scottish folksong "Green Grow the Laurels"

Dedicated to the character who wins, IMO, "The most fun to laugh *at*" award, Gilderoy Lockhart.

 

LOCKHART

My robes are lilac, the color I love.

When fans want to tell me what they’re dreaming of,

I use lilac ink with a large peacock quill

To write them a thank-you for loving me still.

 

In turquoise robes immaculate I can flaunt,

My matching hat set at an angle that jaunts. 

I also have robes of forget-me-not-blue

That match my eyes perfectly. Oh, what a hue!

 

And then there’s my resplendent robes of deep plum;

At the dueling club I looked so very handsome.

Oh, let’s not forget my robes of palest mauve.

And aquamarine robes suit me well, by jove!

 

Jade green robes set off my wavy blond hair,

And midnight blue causes the witches to stare.

On Valentine’s I wear my robes shocking pink,

Then flash all my teeth and give ladies a wink.

"Tut, tut --- hardly any of you remembered that my favorite color is *lilac*. I say so in Year with the Yeti."
